Journal Entry for November 30, 2007 Mood
Friday, November 30, 2007

HELLO EVERYONE

I would like to thank all of you who commented on my previous journal regarding my neighbor. I appriecate all those concerned about my well being, I decided to write an anomyous letter. Although I know that this might not work, I took a change a 50/50 change. I make a choice that I could live with. I thought about it the last couple of days, and decided to do nothing would be an injustice to those who truly need affordable housing. I'm not the type of person to rock the boat, however this was necessary. Where I live regular rent is in the range of $1200-$1600 per month. Here the motto is "The Alberta Advantage", however there are at least 15,000-20,000 families that are struggling just in the Edmonton area. That is why I was so bothered by what my neighbor was doing.

On a brighter note, I'm very proud of myself today. I have paid my rent and all bills and the extra ones too for the month of December. And I still have enough money to go mega Christmas shopping, WOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Over the years and being a single parent on a limited budget I have learned to budget, that I can be very very proud of.

Again Thank you all very much for your support, I truly value each comment.

Take Care and Always Have a Good One!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
